Upper Canada district schools will have a new curriculum plan for their special education programs. The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) approved its 2015 Special Education Plan during the Sept. 9 board of trustees session. The 51-page document covers policy guidelines ranging from stu- dent placement to staffing levels suggested to meet the district goals. Valerie Allen, program superintendent, told trustees that the report also deals with the current drop in provincial government support funding for special education pro- grams.This termwill see «a slight decrease» in staff assigned to special education, noted Allen, but there should be «minimal impact» on service to students and their families. «The staffing reflected in the report,» stated Allen, «shows minimal impact in the area of school and classroom special education teachers, and a consistent level of educational assistant support within our schools. Schools are still supported by a
number of specialized professionals and paraprofessionals, such as psychologists and speech language pathologists.» The report noted that this term, the UCDSB will have the 580-full-time-equi- valent staff providing special education programming. That number includes 338 school-based educational assistants, 10 special education teachers for the Section 23 program, 92 elementary learning resource coaches, 57 secondary learning resource coaches, 10 speech language assistants, and eight itinerant student support workers, who will go from school to school on assignments. Also noted in the report is a district philo- sophy that promotes «early intervention» to help students who are struggling to succeed, along with information on types of student issues like learning disabilities or language impairment, which the special education program tries to address. There is also in- formation on how students can make use of assistance technology.
